“Hmm, it’s much quicker than planned,” Su Yu was very satisfied.
He originally thought Mr. Meng and the others would need to hunt 3 or 4 times to meet the demand, but it turned out two were enough.
This really saved a lot of time.
Su Yu instructed, “Mr. Meng, after you all return tomorrow noon, head straight to the dock to rent a fishing boat.
By that time, we should still be drifting on the lake and haven’t returned, so rent whichever type of boat you see fit, preferably a mid-sized fishing boat.”
“Okay,” Mr. Meng replied.
“Next, let’s analyze the progress of this secret realm,” Su Yu said as he bit into bread, looking at everyone, “Today we have a total of 2245 Red Shell Coins, roughly 250 per boat.
Today is just half a day’s catch; if we fish for the whole day tomorrow, the 9 boats should be able to catch about 4500 kilograms.
Mr. Meng and his group will join tomorrow afternoon.
If all goes well, we should be able to haul in a total of 5750 kilograms of fish tomorrow, which is 5750 Red Shell Coins.”
“Hmm,” Zhong Feng chimed in, “If we continue on this trend, the day after tomorrow we would be able to catch 7000 kilograms of fish, which is 7000 Red Shell Coins.
2245+5750+7000=14995, so it seems that by the evening of the day after tomorrow, when we return from fishing, we will have gathered the required Shell currency to leave the secret realm smoothly!”
“Right, let’s all put in more effort! Come on!”
“Come on!”
Thinking that they could leave this damned place the day after tomorrow, everyone suddenly filled with motivation, and even the rough white bread became instantly sweet in their mouths.
“However… let’s not get too carried away,” Su Yu timely threw a wet blanket on everyone, “Before the secret realm ends, anything is still highly variable, and the biggest variable is the ‘Flaming Fin Fish’.”
Hearing Su Yu mention the “Flaming Fin Fish,” everyone fell into silence as if by agreement.
They were all smart people, having stood out from hundreds of millions of players, one could say each was extremely shrewd.

Not only did Su Yu notice the anomaly of the 3 consecutive appearances of the Flaming Fin Fish, other players also paid attention to this.
They had been pondering over this matter since before, all the way to now.
“Zhong Feng, what do you think about this?” Su Yu called on Zhong Feng.
Zhong Feng thought for a moment and replied, “I still hold the same view—it must be that the secret realm has increased the appearance rate of the Flaming Fin Fish to make fishing more difficult for us.”
“What does everyone else think?” Su Yu looked at the other people present.
“I think Zhong Feng makes sense,” Shepherd in the Clouds was the second to respond, “In fact, there were already hints when we entered the secret realm. The exchange list at that time had the ‘Fireproof Stone’ on it.
If the Flaming Fin Fish still appeared only once every year or two, then there would be no need for ‘Fireproof Stone’ in the exchange list.
Since there is a ‘Fireproof Stone’ item, it proves that we will definitely encounter a considerable number of Flaming Fin Fish.”
“What about the rest of you? What do you all think?” Su Yu asked noncommittally, looking at the others present.
“I agree with both of their views,” Mr. Li answered.
“I also agree.”
“Me too.”
“Agreed.”
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
After everyone had spoken, Zhong Feng looked at Su Yu, “Su Yu, since you’re asking like this, do you have a different opinion?”
Su Yu nodded and then shook his head, “Yes, but not entirely.”
Su Yu looked at everyone, “Don’t underestimate this secret realm; there must be a reason behind the large appearance of the Flaming Fin Fish.”
“What do you mean?” Zhong Feng was somewhat puzzled by Su Yu’s words.
Other players also furrowed their brows, seemingly trying to grasp the meaning behind Su Yu’s words.
“You can think of it this way,” Su Yu tore off a piece of jerky and threw it into his mouth, chewing and speaking at the same time,
“In your minds, there must be a behind-the-scenes Boss manipulating the entire secret realm, increasing the probability of Flaming Fin Fish appearances to up the difficulty, right?”
“Exactly.” Zhong Feng agreed.
“Then, Zhong Feng, do you think the behind-the-scenes Boss could be that God needing offerings?”
“This… probably not?” Zhong Feng stroked his chin, “Everything on the God’s exchange list is to help us increase fishing speed, without exception.
But the Flaming Fin Fish slow down our fishing speed. Unless that God is just bored and playing pranks, it shouldn’t be Them.”
Su Yu nodded, “That is to say, the God is helping us to speed up collecting offerings, but there’s another behind-the-scenes Boss interfering with the entire collection process. My analysis isn’t wrong, right?”
“Indeed, that’s the situation.” Zhong Feng expressed his agreement.
“And now the question arises.” Su Yu held up two fingers, forming a “two” shape:
“We are now facing two problems. First, who exactly is the behind-the-scenes Boss?”
Su Yu paused at this point, looking at all the players.
“…” Everyone shook their heads, unable to provide an answer.
“Second,” Su Yu continued, “Why does that so-called deity want to collect offerings? Why do Flaming Fin Fish have a tenfold return? Is it just to provide us adventurers with a script for a competition?
And what is the method, like the one Sky Dragon used, that can preserve the lives of all players in the secret realm and allow one to leave with the highest reward?”
“This…” Su Yu’s words left everyone silent.
Indeed, they had not yet discovered any method that would allow them to receive the highest reward and leave like Sky Dragon did.
Perhaps, defeating the behind-the-scenes Boss was the way to obtain the ultimate reward?
But who was that behind-the-scenes Boss?
Everyone fell into deep thought.
In the end, Su Yu said, “So everyone, don’t take this secret realm too lightly. Be careful not to flip the boat by accident.”
Zhong Feng nodded, “Right, what Su Yu has mentioned makes sense. It’s better for everyone to be cautious.”
Su Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Tomorrow I’m going to exchange for 14 Fireproof Stones at the altar. Everyone gets one, use it when you encounter Flaming Fin Fish in the lake… If my prediction is correct, there will be a lot of Flaming Fin Fish tomorrow.”
…
With that, the meeting came to an end.
After a simple meal, everyone went to rest, finding a corner in their rooms to fall asleep.
Especially the hunters like Mr. Meng and Mr. Li, they quickly fell asleep and soon began to snore evenly.
Su Yu had also wanted to sleep through until morning.
But for some reason, even though he was very tired, he just couldn’t fall asleep.
With no other choice, he got up an hour later, preparing to step outside for some air.
But as he opened the door and stepped to the entrance, he saw someone sitting there.
It was not just anyone. It was Zhong Feng.
At that moment, Zhong Feng was holding a torch in his left hand and a book in his right.
He was reading the text on the book by the faint light of the torch.
When he saw Su Yu come out, he put down the book and waved at him, “Haha, I knew for sure you couldn’t sleep and would come out. I guessed right!”
Su Yu smiled, walked over to Zhong Feng, and looked at him, “What are you reading?”
